Forever the Irish Critic’s top film, ‘25th Hour’ is set in New York City- in fact it could be said that it is in and of New York City, the backdrop of its post 9/11 angst acting almost as an additional character as opposed to merely a setting. The plot surrounds ex- drug dealer Montgomery Brogan (played by an ever fantastic Edward Norton), charting his last twenty-four hours of freedom before being sent to prison for seven years.
